The programming language Fortran dates back to 1957 when a team of IBM Engineers released the first Fortran Compiler. During the past 60 years, the language had been revised and updated several times to incorporate more features to enable writing clean and structured computer programs. The present version is Fortran 2018. Since the dawn of the computer era, there had been a constant demand for a "larger" and "faster" machine. To increase the speed there are three hurdles. The density of the active components on a VLSI chip cannot be increased indefinitely and with the increase of the density heat dissipation becomes a major problem. Finally, the speed of any signal cannot exceed the velocity of the light. However, by using several inexpensive processors in parallel coupled with specialised software and hardware the computing speed similar to a supercomputer can be achieved.

This book can be used to learn the modern Fortran from the beginning and the technique of developing parallel programs using Fortran. It is for anyone who wants to learn Fortran. Knowledge beyond high school mathematics is not required. There is not a single book in the market yet which deals with Fortran 2018 as well as parallel programming.

Features:

  • Descriptions of majority of Fortran 2018 instructions
  • Numerical Model
  • String with Variable Length
  • IEEE Arithmetic and Exceptions
  • Dynamic Memory Management
  • Pointers
  • Bit handling
  • C-Fortran Interoperability
  • Object Oriented Programming
  • Parallel Programming using Coarray
  • Parallel Programming using OpenMP
  • Parallel Programming using Message Passing Interface (MPI)

The author, Dr Subrata Ray, is a retired Professor, Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, Kolkata.
